Do you play any sports or exercise routinely? Environment plays a factor also.



the gut suckin was obvious in a lot of those photos they ain't foolin nobody

Gut sucking or not, those are not hippos. Those are women who are overweight by about 20 pounds according to the BMI chart. 144 and below is considered normal or healthy for a 5'4 woman. 20 pounds overweight is not hippo status. YES, I agree that they are overweight, but I don't understand the need for exaggeration.

Looks like we're blowing the competition away, Africa and Asia account for 3.3 billion people, of that only 26.5% of the population is overweight or obese. So, the vast majority of the adult population in the world is not overweight, yet 3/4th of Americans are :dead: Yeah, sounds like a truly global problem.

:damn: these hoes are :eat: too good over here.

Yes, you do have to call them that. :Guidedtoislam:

It's not negativity, these people are handled with kid gloves and it's part of the reason our country is so sloppy.

I believe in being tactful (something that many people have not learned to master).

Calling some by the name of an animal is negative. I'll leave that to y'all.

I do agree that on some women that weight can look damn good. But I know here in South Carolina walking around in public is embarrassing. I consider myself out of shape and I look like a pro athlete compared to the people here. I also wonder how they calculate the average weight cause we know A LOT of women are on the far end of the scale that can slant the numbers high enough to not truly represent the population.

:mindblown:

The old "Don't pay attention to them, they ain't hurting you" rings hollow here, fat people are one of the main reasons for the increasing insurance premiums and rising health care costs. They are affecting non fat folks because everyone else has to pay the front end cost for these sacks of shyt.

I know you're a big advocate of relocating out the country so that is your only option imo. This country has been big for a very long time and was built on balking at the idea of having to compromise.

If you haven't notice the one thing people in the USA rarely do is compromise on food and eating habits. It is what it is.

With that said though, Folks now more than ever are focused on their health and fitness. I just don't see those avgs changing because of our culture.

really tho.. a women in her 20s at 5'4 women, weighing 165 lbs.. is going to get fat once she gets closer to her 30s and her metabolism slows down if she doesn't take care of her body. and a lot of us women aren't exercising as much as we should.

im 104 lbs, and i got a lil gut and am not toned.. so i feel like I look like i weigh more than i do so recently i been trying to work out, considering i know im going to gain weigh considering since i quit smoking im gonna eat more and i actually want to gain 10-15 lbs, but tone it up

a 5'4-ish 160 women who isn't toned and doesn't work out, looks a lot different than a 160 lb women who takes care of her body. the later is muscle weight, the earlier is fat.

You really don't realize this until you leave the country. Its shocking how the fatties completely outnumber fit individuals, especially in the south! Whenever i'm in Nigeria, Europe, or South America i'm always baffled how the VAST majority of people are in shape.

According to the stats posted in this thread, Africa (including Nigeria in your example) is the only place where the majority of people are not overweight.

The majority of people in Europe and South America (Latin America) are overweight (inching toward 60% in both of these places).
